“…These results align with previously published research studies that have focused on the associations between TSE and a wide range of children’s health outcomes including respiratory illnesses, 8 oral health problems, 42 and inadequate sleep. 43 Therefore, tobacco cessation should be promoted among households with smokers and children across the US. In addition to focusing on screening for and reducing child SHS exposure, it is important to include information on THS exposure, especially among smokers who have implemented smoke-free home rules.…”

This study examined the association between home tobacco smoke exposure (TSE) status and gastrointestinal problems in the past 12 months among US children. We conducted a secondary analysis of the 2018-2019 National Survey of Children’s Health cross-sectional data including 20 149 children aged 4 to 10 years. Weighted logistic regression models unadjusted and adjusted for child and family covariates were fitted. Overall, 12.3% of children had home thirdhand smoke (THS) exposure only and 1.8% had home secondhand smoke (SHS) and THS exposure. Unadjusted (odds ratio [OR] = 1.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.32-2.20) and adjusted (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.14-1.99) logistic regression results indicated that relative to children with no home TSE, children with home THS exposure only were at increased odds of having frequent or chronic difficulty with gastrointestinal problems over the past 12 months. Interventions are critically needed to promote smoking cessation among household members who live with children in order to reduce levels of SHS and THS in their homes.

“…Concerning health equity, children with high prevalence rates of home SHS and THS exposure were non‐Hispanic white and black and had indicators of lower socioeconomic status (eg, lower parent education level, lower federal poverty level), which parallels other US national child findings 3,55 . While it has been previously thought that child SHS exposure is the sole cause of many negative health consequences, 5 emerging evidence indicates that child THS exposure is differentially linked to poor child health outcomes including clinical illnesses 56‐58 . Thus, there is a need for further research on the characteristics of families, environmental contexts, and the impact of chronic THS exposure among children over time.…”

Further, the study findings highlight the need for comprehensive programs targeted at educating parents and school personnel on both SHS and THS exposures, and the potential impact THS exposure alone has on children's school engagement and success.…”

BACKGROUND: Tobacco smoke exposure (TSE), defined as secondhand smoke (SHS) and thirdhand smoke (THS), is associated with negative health consequences. This study's objective was to assess the associations between home TSE status and school engagement, school success, and afterschool activity participation among school-aged children. METHODS:We conducted a secondary analysis of 2018-2019 National Survey of Children's Health cross-sectional data.Children ages 6-11 years (N = 17,466) were categorized into home TSE groups: no home TSE; THS exposure only; and SHS and THS exposure. Weighted logistic and Poisson regression models were built. RESULTS:Compared to children with no home TSE, children with home THS exposure only and SHS and THS exposure were at decreased odds of being engaged in school (AOR = 0.69, 95%CI = 0.57, 0.83; AOR = 0.63, 95%CI = 0.41, 0.97, respectively), and at increased odds of having ≥1 school-to-home contact about child problems in school (AOR = 1.83, 95%CI = 1.50, 2.23; AOR = 1.58, 95%CI = 1.05, 2.37, respectively). Children with THS exposure only were at increased odds of missing ≥1 school day (AOR = 1.43, 95%CI = 1.13, 1.81). Children with THS exposure only (ARR = 0.90, 95%CI = 0.83, 0.96) and SHS and THS exposure (ARR = 0.74, 95%CI = 0.61, 0.89) were at reduced likelihood of participating in a higher number of afterschool activities. CONCLUSIONS:Children exposed to home tobacco smoke are at unique risk for poorer school engagement and success.
